Point cloud display in Revit views / pixel size / dot size
Point cloud display in Revit views / pixel size / dot size
Hello there,
Hopefully this is a very basic question. In Recap 360 there's an option to display the individual points of a point cloud at different "point display sizes" (from 1 up to 10).
This is very helpful for areas of scans which have less scan density / resolution.
We're hoping there's a similar option for displaying point clouds in Revit views? Currently all we've found under visibility graphics is the ability to change the color mode.
We typically bring in point clouds in RCP format, if that helps at all.
I understand you have a question about changing the display sizes of certain point in a Revit project. I'm not aware of any way of doing this currently in Revit. However, if you like you can submit any suggestion or Feedback directly to the development team via ideastation at the following link:
Just to clarify: not trying to change the display size of a selection or subset of points. Want to change the display size of ALL the points. It seems Revit has no way of doing this.
I think your out of luck. Recap has very limited abilities in revit. This down to the rendering in revit. You can get the Leica cloudworxs which uses the cyclone system. This does have a better ability to change the color and intensity on the cloud but not the size of dots. But the method for visuals is to actually change the background to black so the points are more visible. Stevenc

This is a much needed feature. ReCap and Navisworks both have a fundamental setting to adjust the viewed size of points. This is pretty basic, and should be built into the software. When trying to model from a point cloud you need to zoom in and get accurate and it's hard to do that when the points are always just pin pricks no matter how much you zoom in.
I also think there needs to be another designation other than "Solved" for issues like this. This issue isn't solved; the "solution" is to submit it as a request? That isn't solved!! That is "S.O.L." or similar and this post should be marked as such, not resolved. Just my opinion.
Silly that revit doesn't have any more control on point clouds 4 years later. One not very useful workaround I've found is exporting images at a lower resolution. The points look larger and blend together to look more 'solid'.
...among many other features we've been begging for for decades...this is a simple UI toggle I've seen in every point cloud software I've used in the past 15+ years.
Thank you Cpt Obvs... but the point still stands. Any software that works with point clouds in any capacity I have ever used has this function.
Actually, the point doesn't still stand. Revit has never been the one and only program for everything. Other platforms are necessary as a part of the process. I suggest using the point cloud programs to optimize the clouds for use in Revit or use Revit's coloring options to make them easier on the eyes.
Or, you can wait for Autodesk to maybe make this an option.
I gave up waiting on Autodesk decades ago. Not going to argue semantics. It's blatantly obvious this would be a very useful option within Revit and likely fairly easy to implement.
